TGIF Family!
How have you all been? I know I"ve been MIA, but I hope that you all have been continuing your wellness regimens and seeing positive results. Remember we have to stay motivated daily and inspire not only ourselves but also those around us. Have you done that today?
As for me, I completed the Get Fit 4 Christ plan, but was a little disappointed. I'm not sure if the plan is conducive (and this is just my opinion Coach Johnson) to a distant or online person (if not located in the area with the MVP Fitness studio). I found it very difficult to stick to the plan as someone who travels heavily in my life. Fresh fruit, green veggies, grilling and baking are not as feasible (sometimes) when your in and out of airports and hotels. While it was easier to get apples, oranges and bananas at times, fish and or tuna (since I don't eat the other meats) was very difficult. I found myself trying so hard to get all my protein in to stay on track. I did however loose about 8 lbs, which is not bad for someone who was not at home for the month of October. Lol. For those in the STL area, I highly suggest you look at Coach Johnson's website for his boot camps and weight management programs. I believe they do work if you have access to him and his fitness studio. Find out more information by clicking here.
My Current Regimen:
As of right now, I have implemented my own wellness "rules" and a heavy work out regimen to keep up my good works. Below is a list of things I have implemented DAILY into my wellness regimen:
- 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Multivitamin, Biotin, B12, Iron, Glucosamine (for bone strengthening since I have a severe arthritis)
- 80+ ounces of water
- Herbal tea or DECAF coffee (I tried Stevia as my sweetener, but we didn't get along...so I use pure raw sugar)
- Fruits (fresh) and Veggies (green), at least 2-3 servings
- Carbohydrate intake is between 20-30 grams (trying my best to keep it under 30)
- No meat EXCEPT for fish, tofu and tuna
- Minimum of 4 workouts (2 being strength training sessions)
- Alcohol = limited to white wine only (2x/month maximum). No more than 2/sitting If I absolutely have to have a martini, one a month.
- Between 6.5-7.5 hours a sleep a night
Well I hope this information is useful for you and thanks to all who showed love and support while on my program. Be blessed family!
